Carter Page WAS a Russian spy... FOR THE FBI.
Funny they didn’t mention that in the FISA application.
I see Wapo, I usually stop reading.
Oh so that’s their spin
What universe are these people living in?
Byron York wrote a good column on July 22 that came to a totally different conclusion. He docuuments that Nune’s 12 paragraphs are correct.
I'm tempted to stop reading right there, because it's all I need to say that
1.) This is exactly what Nunes said,
2.) Steele is not American, therefore this is foreign influence,
3.) Hillary paid for it, so there's your collusion, and
4.) Any intelligence officer who denied this to Congress under oath then lied under oath.
I don't know what else there is to say about any of it.
How convenient.

Re Bump’s asinine comment that Page “was a target of the Russians” as though that was a crime on Page’s part.
Go to the site www.keywiki.org, search under “Edward Kennedy”, not “Ted”, and read the FBI report entitled “Contacts Between Representatives of the Soviet Union and members or Staff Personnel of the United States Congress” Internal Security - Russia (TOP SECRET) July 28, 1970 about who in Congress was “targeted” by the KGB for possible influence (and implied recruitment even if they didn’t know about it).
The list included Sen. Edward Brooke (a moderate Republican, a logical Soviet target for influencing through disinformation).
Ellender - LA - liberal to slightly conservative
Fulbright - D. I’m sure they got to him through his aides (i.e. disinformation re Vietnam and the “arms race”)
Hatfield - R. A so-called “pacifist” who sided with the Reds on a lot of issues. More a “moral coward” than a defender of the faith and America.
EDWARD KENNEDY - Mass. D - one of the key targets of the Soviets. Personally I suspected one of his aides on a subcommittee as being pro-Hanoi. That’s just me but when you read what he wrote, you’ll understand why I distrusted him.
Mansfield - Moderate Democrat but on the slightly dovish side. Key foreign policy senator
Eugene McCarthy - the biggest Soviet dupe on the Senate.
McGovern - already pro-communist since his WW2 days and his theology school days, McGovern would be the perfect KGB dupe and much of his foreign policy statements sounds like they were made in Moscow or Hanoi.
Mondale - another “dupe”. Could sell him the Brooklyn Bridge and tell him it was in Florida.
Muskie - Another “weak” Democrat re foreign policy. An easy target for the Reds.
Rep. James G. Fulton - R-Pa. Jimmy was a stanch anti-communist and therefore he would have to be coopted or compromised by some scandal Fortunately he was smarter than that. He encouraged me to expose a Hanoi operation in the U.S., which I did.
Robert Leggett - D - leftist (calif). A perfect target for the KGB. He was already predisposed to Soviet policies
Sen. Donald Riegle (R-Mich). A closet hard left Republican who would be more useful to the Soviet as a Republican than as a Democrat. Check out his voting record on US foreign policies. It will hit you in the face like a sledge hammer.
Soviet contacts with the Sen. Foreign Relations Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee and both the Sen. and House Armed Services Committee were discussed in this memo.
It is enlightening and this is only for the period up to 1970.
Communist penetration of Congressional staffs rose during the late 60s/early 70’s including that of Rep. George Miller ),(D-Cal), a hardcore communist sympathizer; Ron Dellums (D-Ca), another hardcore red himself - he hired communists/Marxists for his staff; and Bella Abzug (D-NY). If you worked for Bella, you had to know that she was a communist. Even her best liberals friends said so.
In the 80’s, Sen. John Kerry hired a Marxist freak show of people as staffers and consultants/parttimes (Porter, Varelli, possibly Avirgan).
Anyone working for Rep. Don Edwards (D-CA) and the Burton Brothers (D-CA) knew they were far-left communist sympathizers or “anti-anti-communists” (Edwards was all of them). The same for George Crockett Jr (D-Mich), Comrade John Conyers (D-Mich), Crazy Ryan of NY (killed by Rev. Jim Jones at Jonestown, Kastenmaier (D-Wisc), crazy Don Fraser - Minn; etc.
The other known CPUSA member in Congress in the 50’s or early 60’s was Hugh DeLacey (D-Ca), one of Leon Panetta’s mentors and best friends. The other CPUSA-lining representative was the one-termer Charles O. Porter (D-Wash or Oregon). He toed the Red line on every foreign policy issue.
Parren Mitchell (D-Md). I suspected him of being a Soviet asset due to his close connection to Baltimore Communists and an identified Soviet spy from WW2.
There were others but I just wanted to repeat these names in light of the FBI memo of 1970. If anyone was “colluding with the Soviets/Russians” in Congress, it was the Democrats, period.
A full investigation of these people, over time, would shock America to its core, and destroy the Democrat Party.
The document proves the dossier was a central element of the application, and it proves the court was not candidly advised of the provenance of the dossier. The WaPo spin falls flat in the face of those facts.
This will do until the redactions are removed. The swamp water is being heated gradually.
Philip Bump? That’s a name? What psycho ward did the WaPo find him in?
Too funny - what Nunes says is only 25 times stronger than the arguments of the anti-Trump folks/deep State, so Nunes must be full of it.....
How is it possible to even make this argument when most of what was released was redacted???
